Prepared for American Society of Civil Engineers by Economic Development Research Group, Inc. Each report in the Failure to Act series provides an objective analysis of the economic implications for the United States of its continued underinvestment in infrastructure. Reports in the series assess the implications of present trends in infrastructure investment for the productivity of industries, national competitiveness, and the costs for households. Analysis considers both the building of new infrastructure to meet increasing population and expanded economic activity, and the maintenance or rebuilding of existing infrastructure that needs repair or replacement. This report focuses on airports, inland waterways, and marine ports, which are critical to the health of the U.S. economy, enabling the importing and exporting of goods, as well as global business travel. Topics include: an introduction; overview of airports, inland waterways, and marine ports; the potential investment gap; costs incurred by a failure to invest; economic impacts; and conclusions.

Proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Automated People Movers and Automated Transit Systems, held April 21-24, 2013, in Phoenix, Arizona. Sponsored by the Transportation and Development Institute of ASCE. Automated People Movers and Transit Systems 2013: Half a Century of Automated Transit—Past, Present, and Future contains 46 papers that look back over the past 50 years of APM development. These papers examine the current state of automated people movers (APMs) and automated transit systems (ATSs) and explore future possibilities in automated transit. Topics include: personal rapid transit; airport projects and other major activity centers; facility planning and design, system improvements, safety and security; automated train control; and standards and policy. Transportation engineers, designers, builders, planners, and owners and operators of automated transit in all forms will find these papers of interest.

Airfield Safety and Capacity Improvements: Case Studies on Successful Projects presents six case studies focused on the planning, engineering, and management of major construction projects at active airports. The construction or reconstruction of runways, aprons, ramps, or terminals while an airport is open for regular operations poses complex challenges, such as access to and from airport operating areas, logistics, staging, short-term lighting and signage, airline-airport communications, and staging and planning for short-term closures of taxiways and taxi lanes. Each case study describes the requirements, objectives, challenges, methodologies, and lessons learned from a recent project, offering unique insights into how complex projects can be managed successfully. Topics include the following: New Delhi Indira Gandhi International Airport runway design and construction; Seattle-Tacoma International Airport reconstruction of runway 16L-34R; George Bush Intercontinental Airport rehabilitation of runway 09-27; John F. Kennedy International Airport reconstruction of runway 13R-31L; Los Angeles International Airport coordinated logistics management; and Denver International Airport off-peak construction. These case studies are essential reading for those involved in planning, designing, and constructing capital improvements to airport facilities, including transportation and aviation engineers, construction engineers and project managers, and managers with airport authorities.
